The "Leadership Forum 2024 Designing Time," part of the Business of Design Week (BODW) organised by PolyU Design, supported by the Hong Kong Design Centre, concluded successfully on November 29th. This forum was dedicated to creating experiences and interactions that engage our senses across various design disciplines. It emphasised the idea of designing time within diverse spaces such as homes, structures, or public areas like campus squares to foster immersive experiences and meaningful interactions that resonate with all senses, contributing to diverse cultures over time.

 

The event featured distinguished guests, including Prof. Kun Pyo Lee, Mr Benny Leong, Mr King Chung, Mr Yanta Lam, and Mr Patrick Bruce, alongside former PolyU Design Deans Prof. Lorraine Justice and Prof. Cees De Bont. These are all influential figures who have contributed to the development of PolyU Design and the design industry in Hong Kong over the past decades.

 

This Leadership Forum encouraged participants to reflect on PolyU Design's significant role in Hong Kong's design history and witness its development and contributions over time.
